    Description

    We are a small family living on 10 beautiful bush acres just15 minutes away from Mooloolaba beaches. We offer self contained accomodation and food in exchange for help with the upkeep of our property . ...Our main need for help is with the gardens as there is always weeding mulching feeding and watering to be done. The other things we may require help with is general maintenance and cleaning and sometimes a little bit of painting or oiling of fences etc. We have one very friendly dog and a charming old cat. We also have a guesthouse here and offer alternative therapies such as massage and yoga.
    We have a large resort style pool and a spring fed dam and a few short bush walks.We have a couple of beehives and the honey that we harvest is quite delicious as we have a lot of flowering gum trees.
    We are looking for workawayers that bring a specific skill set to the property e.g building, mechanical etc or have experience with gardening and housekeeping. We ask for 5 days per week and generallyexpect 5 hours a day, we can negotiate with you on arrival as to which days work best and how many hours are a suitable exchange. As we are not on a public transport route it is recommended that you have your own transport so that you can enjoy your afternoons exploring local beaches and surrounds.
    At present we are looking for a single or a couple who has their own transport to exchange for accommodation only...we are wanting someone who is interested in staying longer...one month or more. In the past we have done 3 hours per day 5 days each week as an accommodation exchange.
